Try this patch, please. It doesn't modify `set-variable' but
`user-variable-p', so it returns t for non-obsolete aliases of user
variables.
Please install your patch.
(Anyway, is that a new feature or a bug fix?)
It is a bug fix.
Would you like to change set-variable to give a warning
when the argument given is an alias?
